Don't expect to see Miley Cyrus scouting any college campuses this summer.

"My sister went to MTSU in Nashville, so I'd probably want to be there with all my friends, but I'm not gonna go to college right now," Cyrus, 17, told Q100's Bert Show Monday morning. "I am a firm believer that you can go back at any age you want, because my grandma went back to college at 62 years old."

See Miley and other celebs hanging out with their siblings!

The "Can't Be Tamed" singer is growing up in more ways than one, even if her critics still see her as a little girl.

"No one ever wants to see someone grow up," she complains. "It's like when Hilary Duff started growing up off the Disney Channel. Everyone thought she was anorexic and she did this and that. It's just because she grew up! She didn't look like a 12-year-old anymore."

See other child stars -- then and now!

And though she's beginning to step out of Hannah Montana's shadow, Cyrus doesn't understand the controversy surrounding her latest music video (in which she wears a $25,000 corset).

"My song is clearly about breaking free and being out of a cage and being able to be truly who you are," Cyrus says. "If you see Hannah Montana through that, or are mad because you don't, turn on Disney Channel. That's where my show is. My show is still on the air. I'm not done doing Hannah Montana...your true fans are gonna love the artist when they express themselves."

Relive Miley's first big Hollywood scandal!

Two men who aren't sad to see her grow up? Current boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and singer Justin Bieber.

"I have my travel-size boyfriend [Bieber] and I have my oversized security boyfriend [Hemsworth]," she jokes of the young men. "It's perfect!

    Well, she can definately do whatever she wants but this is a bad start and choice. The longer she waits, the more she'll deny it. Too bad for her if she never goes until she's 62.

    She's not SMART enough for college. If it wasn't for daddy's one hit 18 years ago, she'd be asking us if we'd "like fries with that businesstravelagent.info If it wasn't for famous daddy, she'd be a stripper next year at the B-clubs in Reno.

    Me and my girl, a young couple, living with my parents and sister in a small one-room apartment. We're both learning at the university, I have to finish next year. In Moldova, it is very difficult to find a normal job, average wages were eating enough even a single person to live. Parents have often reminds us what we want to have to live for yourself. Favorite very upset about this and suffers. I very much love my girl, tried to work several jobs to at least rent a room, the money earned on them and go for services and for the food lacked. In our country, unfortunately, impossible to live without the help of parents. I tried many times to take a loan to buy an apartment and live there with his beloved. But here, all the banks and private firms were denied due to the fact that I have nothing to leave on bail, no decent salaries, student and many, many others. reasons that they could not give me credit, mortgage is the same. Because of this, a lot of young guys are leaving the country and move abroad, in order that would at least like it, equip your life. Due to the fact that the rented apartments went into debt. To buy the same one-room apartment needed money, which we can not ever earn here, for us to 30000 euros is too much. If you had this situation or you have the opportunity to help us, we are very grateful to all of your financial aid. hypercube.

    she's a trash ho, who cares... Now if Miley went to college I'd be surprise... that was very expectable

    Let's drop the charade, shall we? Who actually expected Miley Cyrus to go to college at all? It's quite the shock to me to hear that she managed to obtain a high school diploma. The fact that she is "deferring" her matriculation (read: most likely never going to attempt a postsecondary education) comes as no surprise. And on a related note, MTSU is in Murfreesboro, TN, not Nashville. It is only about a 45 minute drive from downtown Nashville, but still. It's the principle of the thing. And coming from a girl who attempts to claim Tennessee as her home-state. A suggestion: Why doesn't Miley Cyrus take all of the money that she would have spent on college and donate it to the flood-relief efforts that are ongoing across the mid-state? She's not going to get any smarter either way, and at least she would be helping people instead of wasting her professors' time.

  • May 29, 2010 - 12:03pm Girl is soo tired

    Seriously, you people are sick!!! If Miley dosen't want to go to college, that's her problem. And she's right...It's never too late to go to college. It's bad enough people are on her case because of the magazine shoot , the oh so ''pole dance'' and now this. Get off her case and just get a life! How would you feel if she talked about your horrible mistakes or crazy decisions? That's what I thought. And everyone makes mistakes. Don't act like you don't! You people make me sick.

    Damn, Kobe Bryant just finished only high school and he's trying to make Michael Jordan jealous. He's going win more points over Jordan! Also I heard that the new American Idol champ Lee DeWyze dropped out of high school when he was a teen. But luckily he made it into the celebrity world!!! Poor moms are forcing the kids to finish their entire education until college graduation. There are also 15-16 year olds who are attending college.

    Miley will never get into MTSU in Nashville! While MTSU is in Tennessee, it isn't in Nashville!

    why is miley such a dummy if you saul this mahizine when she took of her shirt in started taking of her braw and smushing together her BOOB'S so the camera could see such a looser she shoudn't even be on hanna monpopper. WEML [ WHAT EVER MAGER LOSER]

  • May 27, 2010 - 12:07am me

    all the more respect i have for jodie foster, emma watson and brooke shields. they actually put their lives on hold, wasn't caught up in their "work" (even though they were/are very successful with careers at the time), went away to be normal and got a decent education.

    except hilary duff WASN'T called a hillbilly skank on a daily basis.

    She strives to be like her Dad, a two toed idiot.

  • May 26, 2010 - 10:57am jasun mark

    OK, let's drop the whole charade. We've seen her talk, we've seen her genetic background... She's not SMART enough for college. If it wasn't for daddy's one hit 18 years ago, she'd be asking us if we'd "like fries with that." If it wasn't for famous daddy, she'd be a stripper next year at the B-clubs in Reno. College should be for smart people or at least people who can like... read and stuff.. like... ya know?

    Let's get it straight here Since Miley Cyrus is rich and famous, she won't worry about going to college. Paris Hilton and Britney Spears dropped out of high school but luckily they are successful in life. But poor moms have been forcing their kids to finish their education, go to college and get a REAL job. Look at Jodie Foster and Brooke Shields for example, they put their acting career on hold and focused on education and they both graduated college. Not all kids are lucky, so you have to finish both high school and college. It is not too late to go to college. Recently there were two women in their 90's had graduated college. Even Michael Jordan dropped out of college in order to join the NBA, but he managed to finish the course back for two years. Jordan is still the greatest basketball player of all time! So not all high school dropouts, college dropouts or even college graduates can be successful in life.

    i think miley is makking a good choice. it is her life she'll be an adult nd her parents cn't make that decison for her. unlike me i'm 19 nd i'm in college, for me i think i started to early bcuz you put in so many hours nd its so much money. if i had a talent like she did already in the business i would focus on my career bcuz you can always go back to college. like the olsen twins they started their career b4 they were a year old. when they became adults they were already self fullied with their careers it wasn't going anywhere literally; so for them college was a gud idea. in miley's case she doesn't need to go to college bcuz she already has a career that makes her money. nd if she changes her mind nd decides to go to college great for her. there are three semesters in a college year she doesn't have to start in the fall.

    @Warren, I think Miley is only doing a project with Justin Berber because her little sister absolutely loves him. So she is just making her little sister happy.
